Practitioner Training | Implicit Career Search

The Implicit Career Search (ICS) Licensing Program will provide you with the framework necessary to facilitate and coach others toward a truly purposeful and strategic career plan. The Implicit Career Search approach has proven beneficial to individuals at all levels of career transition, and for organizations looking to improve human resource areas such as career laddering, succession, talent acquisition, retention and cost effective management and leadership training.

Career success, both as individuals and within organizations, depends greatly upon the plan that is put in place to achieve it. An Implicit Career Search career plan guides individuals toward a clearer sense of self and purpose before providing them with a strategic vision to release the implicit contribution they wish to make to the world with their career.

All Implicit Career Search programs are based on two assumptions:

Each of us has something unique to contribute to the world

Each of us desires to deliver this contribution.

The Implicit Career Search uses FIRO® Theory (Schutz) to help participants define their contribution and The Career Development Spectrum® (Miller) to deliver it.

The Implicit Career Search Workshop leads participants through 6 Stages of Career Planning to help them develop a living career plan that will define the contribution they will make through their work and determine the career they will use to deliver that contribution. It is a prerequisite for all Implicit Career Search Practitioners that they have a completed career plan of their own before guiding others to theirs.

You may also accomplish this step by completing an Implicit Career Search Coaching program with an Executive Implicit Career Search Coach or completing the Licensed Human Element Practitioner™ Program.

Practitioner Program

The Implicit Career Search Practitioner Program uses a blend of experiential learning, scientifically validated assessments, practice in facilitating groups and one on one coaching, to provide you with the background and experience necessary to lead others through this process in an elegant and effective delivery style that will be unique to you.

As a career counsellor with over 14 years experience, I have not seen or experienced a workshop as comprehensive, challenging and invigorating as the Implicit Career Search. Whatever you imagine the workshop to be, be prepared to be surprised!
